[Scartown]

Applying for part time work for the coming semester and its literally cancerous and rage inducing.
BRB every phucking company needs you to register an account with their CHIT tier company on their ugly UI trash website

BRB fill in profile data with information THATS IN MY RESUME

BRB Type out resume into 300 information fields. Even having the audacity to tell me to copy-paste my resume is downey let alone filling in each detail individually like a tard

BRB REQUIRED cover letter. Are you on phucking crack. I want to work for Footlocker a few hours a week for extra cash you want me to write a love letter to you about it you PHUCKING IDIOT that 100% wont be read.

BRB (the worst of them all) TAKE A 30 MINUTE QUIZ TO SEE IF YOU FIT THE ETHOS OF OUR COMPANY. SUCK MY DINK

BRB go in person to drop of resume... "Please apply online" yea FUk u bud

All of that so the store manager can hire his buddy instead

BRB LSAT LOGIC QUESTIONS TO WORK AS A BANK TELLER

[Aristotelian]

ITT we see why people like OP are pretty much unemployable. Seriously bad attitude mixed with entitlement. Grow up kid.

[ContrarianIndi]

It's to weed out lazy *******s like you bud.

Lol'd @ the rant tho.

It is annoying tbh

[Vhagar]

did you complain to your parents only for them to say "just walk in and shake the manager's hand son that's how we started our careers"

lmfao

Just put on a nice shirt, go in and ask to talk to the boss

[BostonRockets]

Just use this as your cover letter brah. Guaranteed job offers left and right.

[redwine91]

[MakeItMatt]

[alphatan]

To add I applied at Verizon with 12 years sales experience [Not that Verizon isn't a high end company] send in resume do questionaire bs. Call up manager at store who's never there so talked to assistant manager who tells me i can only get a face to face interview if the cucks in Arizona [another state] approves it and can't speak to corporate regarding my app. Fukin makes me rage so hard. You jump through hoops with this chit that gives you a headache and get no personal interaction like machines phucking decide everything. Fuk job hunting in 2018 it's such utter bull chit from hell.

[Muztek]

fking ded lmfao

Nah, it's a large complaint that a lot of job seekers have been making. Companies are trying to internalize everything and making the application process very difficult. Should go away in a year if the current hiring market maintains as employers won't need to be so strict.

you don't understand brah, you're an oldcel. we're college students who want part time jobs and we have to do all this stupid chit just to earn minimum wage

[Nicklol]

fukn annoying sht

should just do security op. super easy

I always skip the companies that require me to sign up on a different site. Fuk off

[EoR]

Yep. The dance employers make people go through to get a sh*tty part-time job is sad and comical. Hire and fire businesses are getting fussy as well. The OP isn't being entitled, there is definitely a disproportionate amount of effort to reward with casual work in many countries. Then you here on TV business saying they are always looking for employees, meanwhile I had a friend of a friend have to be a court jester to get some low tier retail job. They had previous work in retail as well and the application/interview process was like there were trying to be Google CEO.

[WABeast]

Its been like this for a while for minimum wage jobs. I had the same problem when i was in high school. Higher wage jobs do not make you go through as much BS from my expirence applying to them ( they ask basic questions, like education, experience, and skills to weed people out)


But when i was in high school, i constantly filed out hour long questionares just for them to come back and tell me that i wasn't qualifed to be a dishwasher or work at the local grocery store. Frustrated the hell out of me.

Sorry, but Opie isn't entirely wrong.

There's an obscene amount of ridiculousness involved in the job application process these days.

I'd luv to show you this one email exchange I had with one recruiter for a job (but can't obviously for detective reasons). I forwarded the exchange to my sister (an experienced HR manager) asking, "Is this woman completely insane or am I missing something here?", and my sister just replied "it's not you; she's completely lost the plot".

The only person I know, who finds the whole process effortlessly easy, is my tennis buddy who's an engineering graduate from Cambridge University.

In short: unless you look really good on paper or have a network, the job application process is a certifiable nightmare.

Solution: establish a network and/or make yourself look better on paper.

I actually might write a long winded article about this at some point, but one thing I've realised is that job-hunting and dating are eerily interchangeable - pretty much everything that applies to one applies to the other.

In for article srs. Good point on the dating/job hunting it's so true, personability is just dying on life support. I believe its honestly a redirective view on how the powers that be vision the global job market.

If not wanting to bullchit around and waste half an hour answering useless questions that won't even be read let alone responded to is me being entitled, so be it. I have friends in my home city who can get the exact same job I'm applying for because they know the manager from high school, no application, no lengthy useless and infuriating process which proves how meaningless it is. Just a way to piss people off.

Makes me wonder how 60 year old grandmas got the job working the cash at Tim hortons.

I'm not even complaining about not getting the job, I'm complaining about the obstacles they put in your way to work skilless labor jobs.

baby boomer alert. What op said is spot on. We cant all work at our dads company

[Brozart]

Lol, they know you're retarded enough for them to have to list every letter in the alphabet 4 times

[PROv3]

OP spot on. Recently applied to be a cart guy at the golf course. Pure min wage labor job.

BRB 30 minute phone screening
BRB 2 hour interview in person with 3 different people
BRB now they want multiple references

and I have a supposedly "useful" degree too (accounting)

just lmao

[nate1918]

i dont personally share your pain, but my cousins just graduated for mech eng and they cant hardly find a job to save their life. sucks for them, 4 years, a degree and 60k later and they make 40k a year doing bullchit design work that i could probably learn in a 4 month course.

[Tornach]

Look for a family operated business. Walk in and talk to the owner or the manager. Avoid large companies.

[Aristotelian]

This thread is so full of cope it's sad. Here we go:

I'm with OP 100% you clearly don't know what it's like out there *******

Actually, I do. I have changed career tracks multiple times and am in the process of doing so again. The problem with people like you is that you act like today is necessarily unique from yesterday, whereas in my day I tried to get a job at Kinkos when I was a lot younger and even though my bus was in an accident and I turned up 6 minutes late for my interview, the guy said that it was on me for being late. I told him that I was in an accident and could prove it but he just shook his head and said that for my interview I should have been there early.

The fact that you're trying to tell me what I know or don't know in the world is...part of the entitlement that makes some people employable. You have no idea who I am yet you try to tell me what I know or what my experience is, which means you're very much like the OP in your entitlement/arrogance complex. Which of course means that you'll look at his post and think that this is how the world works.

Nah, it's a large complaint that a lot of job seekers have been making. Companies are trying to internalize everything and making the application process very difficult. Should go away in a year if the current hiring market maintains as employers won't need to be so strict.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'making the application process very difficult' - could you please cite the names of companies you're talking about? OP was bitching that writing a cover letter for why he wants to work at Foot Locker is 'too much' - so, writing a paragraph or two is 'too much' to work at a shoe sales store? That's the level of patience that I would want my employees to have at my Foot Locker? No. I'd want them to be courteous, not posing wankers like half the employees at Foot Locker already are, acting like they're doing you a favor when serving you in a fukking shoe store.

you don't understand brah, you're an oldcel. we're college students who want part time jobs and we have to do all this stupid chit just to earn minimum wage

I'm seriously not sure what stupid chit you're referring to. Part time jobs have always been chitty. They always ask you why you want to work for them like it should be something special, and this isn't just today. That's why I'm saying all this - you think I didn't work minimum wage jobs when I was younger, have chitty potato head bosses, have to do ridiculous things (terrible shifts), etc? I took the jobs because I needed the money. You need a job from someone? Sack up and get it.

Yep. The dance employers make people go through to get a sh*tty part-time job is sad and comical. Hire and fire businesses are getting fussy as well. The OP isn't being entitled, there is definitely a disproportionate amount of effort to reward with casual work in many countries. Then you here on TV business saying they are always looking for employees, meanwhile I had a friend of a friend have to be a court jester to get some low tier retail job. They had previous work in retail as well and the application/interview process was like there were trying to be Google CEO.

What do you mean by 'in many countries'? If you think it's disproportionate effort for 'casual work' then...don't apply for the job? Or see what I said about 'needing money' and 'working for it'.

With respect, nothing in what you (or anyone else in this thread) says demonstrates what you're trying to prove (that job application processes are ridiculous these days).

If not wanting to bullchit around and waste half an hour answering useless questions that won't even be read let alone responded to is me being entitled, so be it. I have friends in my home city who can get the exact same job I'm applying for because they know the manager from high school, no application, no lengthy useless and infuriating process which proves how meaningless it is.

I'm not even complaining about not getting the job, I'm complaining about the obstacles they put in your way to work skilless labor jobs.

See what I mean? You just proved my point. I know people who got jobs at Foot Locker because they knew other people working there. But you think that because you need to fill out an application and write a quick motivation letter that the entire job application process is ridiculous? YOU want to work THERE and to be PAID BY THEM which means you need them, not they need you. So if you have to jump through hoops you would - you've put more effort in this thread than in writing a motivation letter or working on your CV, srs, but please don't let me interrupt e-coping.

baby boomer alert. What op said is spot on. We cant all work at our dads company

Retard spotted. Another entitled moron thinking he knows who's behind the screen.

[mrvz]

I used to work as part of a recruitment team (though not a recruiter) for a corporate

The amount of hoops people have to jump through for minimum wage jobs was unbelievable. Literally for a dishwasher / kitchen hand first of all you must have good experience, come in for an information assessment, group interview, 1:1 interview then wait if you get hired.

Granted that's hospitality and they get more picky compared to retail but it's still minimum wage.
